Xiao Hanzheng stood up to open the door, and was surprised to see Qi Yiyang and the Fifth Prince standing outside.
"Fifth Prince, Master Qi!"
Liang Hengyu smiled at him, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations!"
Xiao Hanzheng didn't think that the two of them came to wish him first place, "Thank you!"
He asked, "What do you two need?"
Qi Yiyang stuck his head and looked inside, and sure enough, he saw Shi Qingluo.
He asked, "Mr. Xiao, I have something I want to talk to your wife about. Can we go in and talk?"
Xiao Hanzheng stepped aside and said, "Come in!"
As soon as the two came in, Xiao's mother got up and took Xiao Baili and Erlang out, saying that she was going downstairs to buy something, but in fact she just wanted to avoid the two foreign men.
Xiao's mother also knew that Qi Yiyang had been targeting her daughter before, so she really disliked Qi Yiyang.
She was afraid that the other party was still thinking about her, so she quickly took her daughter away, out of sight, out of mind.
She believed her son and daughter-in-law would handle it.
Qi Yiyang's mind is no longer on Xiao Baili.
After all, Xiao Baili saw him in such an embarrassing state, and he wished he never saw her again.
Seeing the three people leave, he was relieved.
After all, she was a woman he had been interested in, and he was afraid that she would laugh at him.
After sitting down, Xiao Hanzheng asked the waiter to serve two cups of tea for them.
Shi Qingluo looked at Qi Yiyang and raised his eyebrows, "What do you want from me?"
This guy doesn't look like he's here to take revenge on her.
Qi Yiyang didn't beat around the bush, "Can we all forget what happened on the mountain that day?"
Shi Qingluo instantly understood the other party's intention.
She chuckled and said, "I have always had a good memory. It's not that easy to forget."
Qi Yiyang: “…” This woman must have done it on purpose.
He took a deep breath and asked, "You won't tell Xi Rui and the others, right?"
Shi Qingluo played with the teacup, "That's not necessarily true."
She added, "Xi Rui and I are friends. I will be accompanying my husband to the capital for an exam soon. We will be chatting together, so it is not impossible that he accidentally told others about it."
Qi Yiyang: “…” That was just an accidental statement. If he said it, it must have been intentional.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you keep your promise and not tell anyone?"
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows again, "When did I promise you not to tell Xi Rui and the others?"
Qi Yiyang wanted to go crazy, "Then what do you want to do to not tell them?"
If this matter were to get to the capital, he would definitely lose face and would also be ridiculed and mocked by Xi Rui and others.
The key point is that his family will definitely have opinions about him by then.
He is not the eldest son in the family and cannot inherit the position of Duke, so he has to rely on himself for everything.
The Duke's Mansion has limited resources, and competition is fierce. The brothers from different families have been competing with each other.
If his other brothers heard about it, they would definitely want to step on him and go to their grandfather to discredit him.
That will be disadvantageous to him.
Obviously the latter is more important than losing face.
It was impossible for him to silence Shi Qingluo, so he could only come and talk.
Shi Qingluo looked at him, "Are you so afraid that Xi Rui and the others would find out?"
Qi Yiyang snorted coldly, "Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao and I don't get along."
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment, "Then how do you want to shut me up?"
It would be a shame not to slaughter a fat sheep that comes to your door.
Qi Yiyang thought for a moment and said, "How much silver do you want? Just tell me the number."
He was prepared to pay hush money.
She also said, "Don't you know that any of my ideas can be exchanged for a lot of money?"
She is not really short of money now, as she receives a lot of dividends from the capital every month.
Several workshops such as wool workshop are also very prosperous.
For her, as long as she has enough money to spend and a good quality of life, it is not necessary to have a house full of gold and silver.
Of course, she would not complain about the little money, so she cooperated with Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong.
Qi Yiyang: “…” This is the first time I’ve seen a woman bragging about herself like this.
But what this woman said is true.
It is said that Shi Qingluo has a share in Liang Youxiao's gambling house, the newly opened shop, and Xi Rong's rouge shop.
He suddenly felt a little depressed. It seemed that this woman was richer than him, which was infuriating.
He asked frustratedly: "What do you want?"
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "As long as you do me a favor, I can keep this secret for you."
Qi Yiyang always felt that the way this woman looked at him was a little malicious, "What's the matter?"
Shi Qingluo asked back: "You all know that Zheng Tongfeng plotted against my aunt, right?"
Qi Yiyang nodded, "I know."
He was afraid that Shi Qingluo might misunderstand, so he added, "But we only guessed it after seeing it in the back hills that day. We really didn't know it before."
It would be troublesome if this woman thought that they were in cahoots with Zheng Tongfeng.
The key is that they are not in the same group, and he doesn't want to be wrongly accused.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "Don't be so anxious to explain. I still believe you on this point."
Qi Yiyang smiled wryly, "Thank you so much for your trust."
Then he realized, "Do you want to deal with Zheng Tongfeng? I can help you with this."
Shi Qingluo discovered that none of these young masters from aristocratic families were really stupid.
"That's indeed the idea." He guessed it as soon as she mentioned it.
Qi Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief. "I can help you with this. In exchange, you are not allowed to tell anyone else about what happened in the back mountain that day."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Qi Yiyang: "..." Then why don't you just say it all at once! Why are you keeping him hanging?
"You say." He had never felt so aggrieved before.
Shi Qingluo asked: "Do you know who ordered Zheng Tongfeng to do this?"
Although this was a question, the tone was affirmative.
Qi Yiyang and Liang Hengyu looked at each other, then nodded, "I know, your husband married his father's wife."
Shi Qingluo asked again: "Do you know her purpose?"
Qi Yiyang replied: "I want to arrange a marriage between your younger aunt and the son of a fourth-rank official, so that you can remember her kindness and win over you and your husband."
He added meaningfully, "After all, your husband has a promising future, and you have a quick mind, so you can make money with just any idea."
When talking to smart people, it's boring to be secretive.
Obviously Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo are both smart people.
Although he really hopes that the two of them can be a little stupid...
Liang Hengyu also said: "Yes, I heard that Xiao Yuanshi regretted breaking up with your husband, so he and his wife wanted to win you over."
“Just want to repair the relationship.”
All the blame was thrown on the couple, and his second brother was picked out.
Moreover, his second brother was actually quite wronged in this matter.
The second elder brother really wanted to win over Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, but who knew that Xiao Yuanshi’s little wife would come up with such a clumsy way of being a hero and saving the damsel in distress.
It would be better to come directly to the door and say that he has found a good marriage for Xiao Baili. It would be more reliable.
I will come back and correct the mistakes after posting~ (End of this chapter)
